    :facepalm: I knew that, but it never occurred to me that there was something fishy about that statement.

    haha, cheers Beska.
    Hey lynx, you are firming Barts right? or are you waiting on Kings?

    You just want me at Barts with you but in all seriousness I will be firming Barts at some point. I am just having great difficulty withdrawing from King's and Newcastle because it just feels wrong. But I know in my heart of hearts, this September I will be a BATLSMD student
    Well there's no universally "right" choice, but I'm sure you'll make the right choice for yourself

    I was going to firm Barts, but my friends and family are telling me to wait for King's. I think that's what I shall do.

    All my family and friends are telling me to go to the King's interview but I think it will make my decision really difficult if I get an offer. To decide between King's, Barts and Newcastle is very very difficult!

    Just got an offer!

    I'm literally speechless, I thought the interview went terribly to be quite honest. Just goes to prove that your own impressions of how you've done mean absolutely nothing.

    Dammit, now I have decisions to make. >.<

    Good luck to everyone who's yet to hear back!

    Newcastle or St Andrews is my current question. I hadn't expected one offer, let alone two so the choice is crippling me with indecision. Maybe I should just flip a coin.

    Flip a coin, and then see your reaction with the winner. If you think "oh well" ... then you don't really want to go there. If you think "yes! I was hoping this one would win!" then it answers your own question!

    Worked for me!

    I heard on FaceyB that they're giving out offers.

    I'd be lying if I said that I wasn't a tad anxious.

    But I'm going on the principle of ignorance is bliss. If I get an offer, I'm expecting a letter to be sent home home. If I don't get a letter, I'm guessing I got a rejection.

    Roll on April. (hopefully not too quickly as I've got diss work to do before then)

    Congrats, is that for 4 year or 5 year?
    Thanks! It's for the 5 year. I wasn't confident about my application in October so only applied for one Graduate Entry programme to maximise my chances of getting an interview (seriously considered not even applying to Warwick and going for Barts 5 yr instead). Having received 4 interviews, and an unconditional on my only response so far, perhaps I undersold myself.....

    Ah well, bring on the Warwick interview!

    A101 here. I wouldn't be surprised if they do us last! At this rate though that could be quite soon I hope.
    I'm A101 too, bu also applied for the undergrad.

    If all goes to plan, I'll get a double rejection :awesome:
